What is Sollya?

Sollya is both a tool environment and a library for safe floating-point code
development. It is particularily targeted to the automatized
implementation of mathematical floating-point libraries
(libm). Amongst other features, it
offers a certified
infinity (supremum) norm and a fast Remez algorithm.

In order to build Sollya, you will need: a C compiler (e.g., gcc), a C++ compiler (e.g., g++), GMP, MPFR, MPFI, FPLLL, and libxml2.Gnuplot is highly recommended for using the plot and externalplot commands. It is not required though.

Development

The latest development version is available in a git repository that can be found here. The most up-to-date online documentation is here. You will need Bison and Flex to compile the sources from the git repository.

Bug reports and feature requests: just send us an email at sollya-devl at lists.gforge.inria.fr.
